43. The experimental numbers reported here contain both the reaction field and cavity field components. Therefore in the case of C153, the corresponding gas-phase values for |Δu| and Δα would actually be somewhat lower than those reported in Table 2. Since the calculated values are reaction-field- and cavity-field-corrected, one can compare those in Table 2 to the calculated gas-phase values (Experimental Section) to estimate the cavity-field and reaction-field contributions to |Δu| and Δᾱ that would be predicted by the dielectric continuum model.

47. The values of .π* for THF and toluene are 0.55 and 0.49, respectively. While MeTHF may be expected to have a different value of π* than THF, addition of a methyl group causes a decrease of 0.06 units between benzene and toluene. If a similar decrease occurs in THF, this would make the π* values of MeTHF and toluene similar at room temperature.
